## What is Morocco HD?

Play the classic strategy game Reversi (also known as Othello) on your iPhone or iPad. Reversi is a game with simple rules but complex strategy.

Morocco is one of the most popular Reversi games for the iPhone. Morocco HD has the same simple pick-up-and-play gameplay but lets you choose from a variety of gorgeous backgrounds and board colors.

The original Morocco for the iPhone is still free.  It has all of the features and skill levels as Morocco HD but without the new graphics, sound effects, and instructions.  Please try that out if you want to get a taste of what Morocco HD has to offer before you buy.

FEATURES

- Play against your iPad or against a friend.
- Three difficulty levels allow for casual play while still providing a challenge to experienced players.
- Option to show (or hide) the current legal moves which can be very useful while learning to play.
- Simple but effective sound effects.
- Seven beautiful backgrounds to choose from, including wood, marble, grass, concrete, and steel.
- Five felt game board colors, from the classic green Othello board to a stunning deep red.
- Supports both portrait and landscape orientation with a different board layout in each.
- Detailed instructions with graphics to explain the rules.

Praise for Morocco on the iPhone:

"A simple, no-frills version of Othello, and I mean that in a good way.  ...  There's no reason to even play any other Othello-type games available."

"Simple, streamlined, nice interface.  One of my all-time favorite iPhone apps!"

"Dangerous when I'm in bed, because I'll play it to 20percent battery and hopefully I'll remember to plug in and charge. Yep, it's THAT addictive."

### 5/5 — Super Game!

*2021-06-06*

Great implementation of well known game!

If it possible, update textures and make an universal for iOS iPhone and iPad Mac OS platforms, thank you!

### 1/5 — Can’t open it anymore…

*2021-05-02*

I can’t open it because apparently the developer has to update it for the current iOS. Very annoyed because I had to pay for this app. If it won’t be updated then it’s useless, and I will have wasted money.

**Developer response:** Sorry for the delay. The update is on its way!

### 5/5 — Best othello by far

*2017-09-07*

Morocco is by far the best version of othello on the App Store. I've been playing this app (the iPhone one) since 2008. I've looked for better versions with better AI, and this is still hands down the best one. This version looks nicer, but really they're the same underneath.

It's worth way more than a dollar, so you're getting an awesome deal.

### 5/5 — Great quick game fix

*2017-09-06*

I've played this for several years now. Yay. Not only 64 bit, but iPad ready too.

### 1/5 — Amateur

*2011-08-04*

This game must be written by an amateur player without any knowledge of strategy for playing reversi. Difficult level is so predictable. There are other free reversi apps that offer more challenging levels.

### 5/5 — Even Better!

*2010-10-27*

I've been playing this game on my iPhone for as long as I've had the thing. I recently got an iPad, and was sad when the app wasn't compatible. I thought I'd check to see if there was a version specific to my new toy and was SO excited to find this one! I absolutely love this new app. It's even better than the iPhone version (which I also would give 5 stars). I have a blast playing on the bigger screen, and I love the way this version is designed. I'd highly reccommend this app to anyone who loves othello/reversi/morocco! One of the best $.99 I've ever spent.

### 5/5 — Beautiful way to pass the time!

*2010-10-07*

This game is nothing short of beautiful.  Excellent graphics have been combined with a challenging AI in an age-old favorite game.  I'm definitely glad I bought this one.

### 5/5 — Great Game

*2010-08-04*

I find myself playing this game whenever I have a moment or two to kill.  It has great design and a good range of difficulty levels.  Well worth the cost of admission.

### 5/5 — Best in the market, bar none

*2010-07-21*

Strong gameplay engine with excellent head to head mode. I play it daily!
